So uhm, this is my first fanfic and I'm not sure about the pairings yet whether graylu or grayza. We'll just see!

Here it is, Jealousy

For some reason I've been waking up early since last week. I couldn't sleep and I've been trying to figure out why. I've been thinking about it for a week now. It started right after the Grand Magic games, we won and there had been some changes. We were the strongest guild in Fiore again and our guild was rebuild for us to be more comfortable. It was bigger and better it's like seven years ago. It feels like were back home.

So I woke up and started to walk to the guild. As I was walking I was still thinking about the issue in my head. When I saw Natsu defeat the the two dragon slayers from Sabertooth I've been kinda feeling… weak. Like I was behind him. Another one was the way I've been feeling for my nakama Lucy. I feel like I want to be the one protecting her… not Natsu.

I was about to open the door when I realized what was the conclusion of why I ain't getting sleep. It was because I was being jelous.

As I entered I see that there wasn't much people since it was early. Erza was at the bar with Mira. Cana was drinking as usual. And several other guildmates just doing their thing. I see Natsu, Lucy, Wendy and the two exceeds sitting together at the table. They greeted me "Morning, gray." with a small smile and I waved back in return. I walked up to the bar and sat next to Erza who was eating her cake and Mira was there wiping plates as usual.

"Good morning, Erza." I said and she responded with a small nod. "Gray would you like a drinik?" Mira asked with a usual smile. I nodded no in return.

"So, gray." I heard Titania speak and I looked at her. "You've been acting weird lately. Are you okay?" she asked with a concerned look in her eyes.

"I'm fine, Erza." I responded. "You sure?" she asked again. "Yeah." I nodded.

"If there's anything wrong just tell me, ok? I get worried." She told me with concerned eyes. I nodded and gave her a smile. Erza is one of the person's I trust the most. Even though she would beat me up countless of times she's kinda like my bestfriend. When she first came to the guild we had a rough start. I'd always try to find her and challenge her to fight but she would always beat me to a pulp. I didn't accept her as a nakama until one day I saw her at the riverbank.

*Flashback*

I was running to her to challenge her again then she turned around when she hear me… she was crying. I suddenly stopped. I couldn't handle it when girls cry.

I ask her why she was always alone, and she responded by saying that she was uncomfortable when she was close to people.

"Then why are you crying all alone!?" I exclaimed I could feel a blush in my cheeks. Erza widened her eyes to what she had heard. I sat next to her

and she just stared at me with a small smile. She felt happy he was there.

That's when I accepted her as my nakama. She wore that armor to hide her true feeling. That's why I made a promise to myself… I would never let anyone make her cry and if someone does I'll beat the crap out of them. I wanted to protect her.

Since that day I've always look up at her. I didn't try to challenge her much like I usually did.

*End of Flashback*

I wanted to get stronger. I stood up and went to the mission board. Erza stared at me like she knew that was something wrong. I looked up and observed which mission I should take.

"Hey." I looked beside me and saw that Lucy was doing the same thing I was. "Hey." I answered.

"Looking for a mission?" She asked me and I replied with a nod. "Then maybe we should go together? I gotto pay my rent." She claimed while smiling at me as if she was begging. "Sure." was my reply.

"Maybe we should bring Natsu and Erza." She asked, and I nodded. Even though it was supposed to be just me…

"Okay then this should be fine." Erza claimed and Team Natsu was all in one table. We have picked a mission which was worth 600,000 jewels. It said that we would have to defeat an unknown creature who was causing trouble at Balsam village.

"Okay we'll meet up at the train station after an hour, ok?" Erza said and we all nodded. I went home to pack up quickle and went to the train station.
